NEW BABY AT MITS!

Very exciting, and scary! Paulyne Adhiambo was taken to hospital Saturday night, and the doctors thought she would give birth before morning. But there was a problem, an finally the doctors asked her about surgically bringing the baby. She didn't really want to and was scared of surgery (a lot of these kids have never even been to a doctor and are frightened of everything connected with them).

The doctors told her, "The baby is getting tired," so she finally consented. They performed the surgery yesterday, and we have another baby girl. We don't know yet whether there was fetal stress or any complications, but both seem okay. A few minutes ago Augustina (who works at the Eastleigh Center as a cook and a sort of grandmother to the girls) was going to get water and take it to her. Even the water at the hospital isn't safe to drink! But in spite of the problems, the staff there does a good job.

So rejoice with us. And please ask God to bring life and joy to this baby, who will never have to live on the streets.
